Victims' Voices Heard Inc. has helped many victims, their famlies, friends and co-workers become survivors. Below are some of the comments participants in our program have made following their respective dialogues.

• DUI Survivor

"I need for him to know the people he killed. They were my family, and I don't think he knows what he's taken from me."

• Survivor of Sexual Assault

"I need to ask him why he did this."

• Rape Survivor

"I want to know I'll be safe when he gets out."

• Rape Survivor

"I never saw him. I need to put a face to my fear.""I need to ask him why he did this."

• Rape Survivor

"I have wanted to talk to him for years. I keep feeling like I'm getting on with my life and what happened keeps coming up."

• Rape Survivor

"When my offender went to prison, he took me with him. My jail had no bars, but it did. It had invisible bars, the kind that kept the sunshine out and locked me inside."

• Sexual Assault Survivor

"This isn't like backing into a car - you apologize, pay the damages and everything is better. Hearing him say he is sorry will help, but the wounds are still too deep to buff out."

• DUI Survivor

"I need to know who he is - match a face to this. I need to hear him take responsibility for killing them."

• Rape Survivor

"I never got to see him. It's like the boogie man in the closet and I don't know who to be afraid of."
